SCIENTIFIC MURDER.

to Prove Against Famous Surgeon.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
NEW York. April 23-The death Of Eliza
Weathersby Goodwin. the actress, promises to
have sequel Dr. Marion Sims has presented
his bill for professional services to her husband,
Nat c. Goodwin, and Mr.. Goodwin has refused
to pay, on the ground that it is exorbitant. But
this difference Of opinion does not make the sem
sational episode. There are other things back
Of the matter that if brought out, as 1t seems
likely they will be in the courts, will prove ex-
traordinary. Mrs Goodwin had been i'll for
considerable period. The trouble was disorder
that resisted all attempts to check it. Evsntu-
ally the family physician, DR.. r. S. Robertson,
deemed it advisable to have experts summoned
to consult the case. DR.. Sims was not
among those who came at first. The doctors
were in grave doubt as 20 the precise nature of
the malady. but some were inclined to the opn-
ion that 1t was tumor in the fallopian tubes
If such were the case, the only possible remedy
would lie in an operation for the removal of the
tumor-a very dangerous matter at the best. and
one that would be liable to cause death. even if
successfully performed. When Mrs Goodwin
was informed of the possible nature of her
trouble, she expressed her desire that an opera
ton be made, but DR.. Robertson promptly refused
to perform it. lie was not confident that
tumor existed. and was wholly unwilling to as
sumo the terrible responsibility for the result if
none should be found. The other experts
agreed with the family physician. Mrs. Good
win. however, was anxious that whatever might
be done for her should be resorted to- and DIR.
Sims was called. He made an examination. and
his opinion agreed in its general features with
that of his colleagues. The truth of the matter
simply was that Mrs. Goodwin must die if the
disorder to be left alone; that surgical OBJ
GRAFTON might possibly save her. but that the
chances were strongly that 1t would hasten the
end. This was made clear to the patient. and
she unhesltatingy asked DR.. Sims to make the
operation. He consented, and DIR. Robertson
and one other were present when IL was per-
formed. The result showed that tumor
listed. The disorder was Inflammation of the
fallopian Tubes, and soon after the conclusion of
the operation Mrs Goodwin died DR. Sims is
physician of the highest professional standing,
has an extended practice, and comes high. The

the death of his wife was nothing less than sci
